Another one of my favorite songs of the year as I try to swelter through this unseemly Florida heat to get you Klap’s Best of 2011 list before the New Year. 80 degrees in Orlando right now – straight sinful. Can’t wait to get back. The National, one of my favorite bands (High Violet coming in at #6 on my list last year), released this gem as part of the Portal 2 soundtrack earlier this year. If this is the kind of song the group is writing for a video game soundtrack, I can’t wait to see what they have in store for an honest-to-God LP.

The National – “Exile Vilify”

High Violet has really grown on me in the past month, and no track as much as “Conversation 16.” Drummer Bryan Devendorf just killing it as always.
